- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Are gift cards not gifts then?
No. They're a fucking burden.
Yes, gift cards are gift cards. Gift cards, however, are not money as you can't spend them anywhere.
Yes, but that wasn't the question. Gift cards are to gifts like butterflies are to butter.
You can buy anything you want with a gift card. Whatever you choose to buy, that's your gift. But no matter what you do, you're never gonna get butter out of a butterfly.
Only if that thing you want is sold by the shop the gift card is for. That's the condition.
The original point (above my comment) was that the presence of the condition makes it not a gift.
I will literally buy you a $200 Roblox gift card if you can directly buy a Keychron Q6 with it.
By that logic a Lego set isn't a gift because the gift giver stipulated that the money could only be spent on a Lego set
What money? There is only a Lego set in your example. A Lego set does not pretend to be money like a gift card does.
If you were to pick one thing to take with you to a desert island for 6 months I guarantee a Lego set would be higher on your list than money. This is because Lego itself has value, at least to those who enjoy using it. Money does not have any intrinsic value outside trade. It is a means to an end. A way to acquire something of actual value to you.
You can sell gift cards or regift them.
